Westview Owners Dedicate 25 Feet for Street Opening
Controversy continues over opening the street at Westview Bowling Lanes as utilities could be cut if right of way is not acquired. Westview Howling Lane owners donated 25 feet along the district at no city cost when the milk plant was built, creating a 500 foot strip beside ten acres.
